Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 79: Hiding in Cave

Chapter 79: Hiding in Cave

The pill immediately melted within Lin Xiao’s mouth as if it had been waiting for it. Lin Xiao could feel dense Qi entered into his body to his dantian then coursed all over his body before the Qi focused into his arms.

With the rich Qi, Lin Xiao could feel that his arms were slowly mended from inside.

"It’s magical."

"It’s an expensive medicine," Wenren Yu said helplessly. However, it was also the best medicine for Lin Xiao right now. He couldn’t drag Lin Xiao up this steep mountain because just climbing as one person was already very difficult.

"This woman is rich?"

"Very." Wenren Yu took out a Bone Restoration Pill. "Eat this."

"But I have already eaten one before," Lin Xiao protested. He didn’t want to eat too many medicine and possibly died out of overdose.

Wenren Yu rolled his eyes. "It’s fine even if you eat 10 of this. This medicine didn’t really harm you, but you might feel pain because it’ll increase the speed of which your bones are reconnected again."

"I’m not afraid of pain."

Taking the pill, Lin Xiao did feel stinging pain in his arms. However, the pain no longer bothered him that much. After experiencing such pain when he obtained the Emperor Inheritance, his pain tolerance had increased.

Well, just a little bit, though.

"Keep the rest inside the Spatial Ring again. I’ll explain the use to you later." Wenren Yu took out a rope and passed it to Lin Xiao before he bound the other end to his own body. "For precaution in case you can’t step properly."

Lin Xiao looked at the rope and frowned. "I’m already fine."

"Hurry up. Your brother is already waiting."

"Fine."

Taking the medicine back into the Spatial Ring, Lin Xiao tested his arms. He had already felt much better than before. Sensing this, Lin Xiao was very happy. With this he would be able to recover much faster.

"Don’t overexert yourself."

Slip! Thud!

Lin Xiao failed to grab properly due sudden pain on his arm and his face crashed to the wall. Not far from him, Wenren Yu smiled bitterly.

"You’re not in your best state, so make sure that you’re not overexerting yourself."

"Yes, Doctor...."

"Step slowly."

"...Yes, Doctor."

It took quite a long time before Lin Xiao could reach the cave where Lin Yun and Wenren Yu previously stayed. Wenren Yu had found the cave a long time ago. It was a small cave and didn’t really have anything, but it was more than enough for them to stay for the time being.

"Brother, are you alright?" Lin Yun was shocked when he saw Lin Xiao’s sleeve and also the blood mark. What had happened to his brother, ah?

"Don’t worry."

Lin Xiao sat down and sighed. For the first time in his life, he felt that climbing the mountain was very difficult.

"What happened?"

In the end, Lin Xiao explained the simplified version about what had happened. Lin Yun was also curious at the mark on Lin Xiao’s forehead, but Lin Xiao didn’t really know about that either. He could only say that the mark appeared after he initiated some mechanism in the lake.

In the end, Wenren Yu chipped in and shared the knowledge that he knew.

"Emperor Inheritance?" Lin Yun was stunned. He looked at his brother’s forehead in shock. "You’re saying that it’s the mark that Brother should be an Emperor?"

"To be exact, he’s the Emperor chosen by the Heaven," Wenren Yu explained. "As you know, Sun Kingdom is just one of the many kingdoms in the entire land. There are a lot of kingdoms, but only a handful of them have their emperor chosen by the Heaven personally."

"Chosen personally?" Lin Xiao asked.

Wenren Yu nodded. "When Emperor Inheritance’s Inheritor died, the next Emperor Inheritance location will appear near the next successor. As long as the successor passed the test, he would obtain a lot of benefit and a responsibility."

Responsibility?

This was the first time Lin Xiao heard about that. He only thought that Emperor Inheritance was some precious treasure or something like that. But from the way Wenren Yu said it, Emperor Inheritance was actually for them to pick the next successor?

"Yes, you have to become an Emperor."

Become

An

Emperor

BECOME AN EMPEROR?

"WHAT?" Lin Xiao yelled in surprise. He looked at Wenren Yu with disbelief. "Are you telling me, a village kid, to become an emperor?"

Wenren Yu nodded. "When it’s time, Emperor Inheritance’s Inheritor will have to become the Emperor. Of course, I didn’t mean right away because if you show outsider that you’re Emperor Inheritance’s Inheritor, you’ll be targeted and possibly killed. However, you’ll need to become an emperor, no matter which kingdom it is."

Lin Yun patted Wenren Yu’s shoulder. "I don’t think he’s listening."

The two of them looked at Lin Xiao, who was still crouching on the ground, seemingly unable to accept the fact that he had to become an Emperor.
